Is it something tantamount to writing ‘The Satanic Verses’ as Salman Rushdie did, is it dancing to songs like 'tujh mein rab dikhta hai' or is it reading Mirza ghalib's poetry? <br />It is imperative to realise that when a law is made part of the constitution, it needs to be crystal clear in its technicalities in order to truly function as a law, to be useful in its implementation and to uphold the values of Islam.<br />Secondly, one must remember that there is no blasphemy law in the Shariat. Now, this fact in no way obviates the need for such a law, but it is definitely something which should be remembered before one becomes too afraid to question the constitution for fear of being branded as a heretic.Hanan Tahirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12074466124819924976noreply@blogger.com
